Unified Auditions Announced for Cincinnati Fringe Festival

Sunday, February 26th from 4-6pm at Wooden Cask Brewing Company in Newport, KY, we are holding the 2023 Cincy Fringe Unified Auditions.

Click here to sign up!

In the non-traditional spirit of Fringe, this will be a non-traditional “audition.” Fringe Producers and Players (that’s you!) will engage in rounds of one-on-one speed dates. 5 minutes per session, producers will pitch their project and players will pitch themselves. Bring a monologue and/or a song, or just bring your VIBE.

This event is a proud collaboration with our pals at Falcon Theatre and the League of Cincinnati Theatres.

Come Play With Us! The Cincinnati Fringe Festival Is Accepting Applications for 2023

The Know Theatre of Cincinnati and the Cincinnati Fringe Festival are pleased to announce that the application period for the Twentieth Annual Cincinnati Fringe Festival is now open and will run until December 12. The Cincinnati Fringe Festival will run June 2-17, 2023.

What is the Cincinnati Fringe Festival?
A 14-day celebration of theatre, art, music, film, dance, and everything between — it’s Cincinnati’s Summer Theatre Party! Now in its 20th year, Cincy Fringe (as it’s succinctly known) presents over 200 performances of 40+ theatre productions each May and June, plus art galleries, screenings, concerts, workshops, classes, and nightly after hours events.

To facilitate greater equity amongst our applicant pool, this year we are offering a sliding-scale application fee. Applicants are invited to pay what they are able, with a suggested fee for each programming category; some categories are free to apply.

Further details on materials required to apply can be found in the Application FAQ on the Cincy Fringe website.

The application form will be available at our website, www.cincyfringe.com.

Fringe Encores This Weekend at Falcon Theatre

Two shows at Fringe had to close most or all of their runs due to cast illness. We were all pretty disappointed about it.

But great news! Due to our partnership with Falcon Theatre, these two shows are getting special Falcon-Fringe encore performances this weekend.

We hope you’ll make it to the Falcon this weekend to catch up on Fringe you may have missed, and to support Fringe artists in this challenging time.

Friday, June 24, at 6:00 PM and 8:00 PM
SALLY SALEM AND THE SPOOKTACULAR BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA from Zoë Peterson out of Cincinnati, OH.

Sally Salem and the Spooktacular Birthday Extravaganza has Sally and her friends trying to throw a party for her niece and nephew, despite the protests of her conservative sister. They’ll meet ghosts, demons, and the devil himself! An interactive comedy, this play is wrought with themes of love, friendship…and necromancy.
